Notice
PURPOSE: To provide an update on the Historic Rogers Road Community Enhancement and
Monitoring Task Force activities to date.
BACKGROUND: At its April 24, 2007 meeting, the BOCC created the Historic Roger's Road
Community Enhancement Plan Development and Monitoring Task Force. The purpose of this
Task Force is to develop and recommend a plan to the BOCC for the enhancement of the living
environment in the historic Rogers Road Community and to monitor the implementation of the
plan. The BOCC has requested a recommended enhancement plan be submitted by
September 1, 2007.
The Task Force met on June 6 and June 11 at the Faith Tabernacle Oasis of Love Church.
Issues discussed to date are the Task Force Charge, review of various materials, Task Force
process and timeline, desired outcomes, delineation of the specific Historic Rogers Road
Community boundaries, and options for obtaining maximum community input into the process.
The community conducted a public forum without the participation of County staff and elected
officials on June 19 to talk among themselves on community priorities and desired Task Force
process outcomes. The Task Force is scheduled to conduct a community information gathering
meeting on June 25 at the Homestead Community Center. A written interim report will be
provided at the June 26 BOCC meeting.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are currently no expenditures anticipated related to the meeting of
the Task Force.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the interim report
and provide additional instructions to staff as necessary.

Historic Rogers Road Community Enhancement Plan Meeting
June 25, 2007 7:00 PM Homestead Community Center
600 Homestead Road, Chapel Hill
You are invited to a meeting at the Homestead Community Center to discuss issues local residents
deem important for improving the quality of life in your Rogers Road community and to address
the concerns related to the long term presence of the solid waste facilities located in the community.
The meeting is sponsored by the Historic Rogers Road Task Force which was appointed by the
Board of County Commissioners. The meeting will include small group discussions to encourage
full participation.
Orange County's Board of Commissioners (BOCC) have established a Historic Rogers Road Task
Force consisting of elected officials and Rogers Road area neighbors to develop and recommend a
plan, including financing options, for the enhancement of the living environment in the historic
Rogers Road Community and to monitor the implementation of whatever plan is ultimately
adopted by the BOCC. The discussions and recommendations made at the community meeting on
June 25 will be used by the Task Force in developing its recommendations.
If you are interested in or concerned about the future of your neighborhood please attend the
meeting and express you opinions. The BOCC is also interested in your opinions regarding exactly
what specific area should be officially considered the "Historic Rogers Road Community". If you
have questions regarding this meeting or the Rogers Road Community Enhancement Task Force
please call 968-2885 and speak with Gayle Wilson.
We look forward to your participation on June 25. Refreshments will be available.
